Advantages of RTO (Canada)


There are several potential advantages of going public through reverse takeover transaction. One of the biggest is better access to financing options. Usually private placement is conducted simultaneously with reverse takeover.  It will provide capital for company's future plan and projects and also fund the expenses of RTO. Public company that is reporting issuer has the opportunity to raise additional capital. Secondary offering require prospectus forms that are significantly shorter and are subjected to shorter review period by the Securities Commission in comparison to RTO transaction. Also, public companies are in more favorable position to obtain debt financing. If company complies with periodic reporting requirements it makes it more attractive to lenders and debt investors. Small and growing companies  in Canada also have lower listing requirements and less continuous disclosure obligations (TSXV and CSE).

Being public company provides greater liquidity for company's shares. Shares are naturally more marketable because there is regulated  and liquid market where company's shares are traded. By going public elimination of liquidity discount permits the company to obtain more money per new share from the new investors.In this way the valuation of investment is increased. Many shareholder in private companies expect that they will have considerable return after company goes public. In this way early investors can realize the appreciation of the value of their investment and make profit. The timing of this liquidity depends on the terms under which the initial shares were acquired (if there is no hold period realization of the value can be immediate).

Many companies provide incentives to employees by giving them stock options. This plan have been important for recruitment and retention tools for public companies. General opinion is that if employees have stake at the company that will encourage them to align their objectives and interests with those of the company. Owning tradable shares offers public company alternative currency for potential acquisition. This way you will be able to offer shares instead of cash if such opportunity emerges. If company is going public it almost always carries a certain amount of prestige and with it goes improved perception of the company, its financial stability and transparency. Public awareness may be also increased through press releases and analysis which will improve liquidity. Undergoing due diligence and other necessary requirements will surely improve company's position within industry and among competitors which can lead to favorable terms given by suppliers. Compliance with the requirements results in effective system, procedures and controls withing the company.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

  Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary ...

All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading. So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares.
